ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE/ WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was not happy with planemaker Boeing BA.N and his administration might have to go a different route with Air Force One planes.

President Donald Trump says he is considering buying used Boeing aircraft — perhaps from an overseas seller — to use as Air Force One when he’s aboard, as he fumes over the U.S. plane-maker’s delays in producing two specially modified ones for presidential use.

Boeing has had six years of production problems, safety issues, delivery delays and unhappy buyers of its aircraft. But President Donald Trump’s anger at the delays for the next generation of Air Force One jets could result in a huge blow to what remains of the company’s prestige and finances going forward.

A furious President Donald Trump has deputized Elon Musk to badger Boeing into delivering two new Air Force One jets—a project that has been been derailed by PR nightmares and technical issues, according to a report.

The Air Force One program may be further delayed until 2029 or years later, a senior administration official said, citing supply chain issues and changing requirements, after the White House said the project failed to deliver a new plane on time over the weekend.

CEO Kelly Ortberg on Thursday said Elon Musk, the head of its space business rival SpaceX, is "helping us a lot" in navigating through delays.

President Donald Trump said he is "not happy with the fact that it's taking so long" for Boeing to build the next Air Force One jetliner, which has been delayed.

President Donald Trump has expressed frustration about delays of the specially-outfitted pair of 747s that will serve as the next Air Force One aircraft. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg has said the company is working with Trump's advisor Elon Musk to deliver the aircraft faster.

Two new Air Force One airplanes are at least three years away from being delivered to President Donald Trump, prompting him to request Elon Musk's assistance.

Boeing Co.’s chief executive officer said Elon Musk and his DOGE team are helping the planemaker work through bottlenecks that have caused the next fleet of Air Force One jets to fall years behind schedule.
